I recently got to tour the property where I mostly grew up. The surrounding properties haven't changed too much, but our farm on the outside was changed dramatically by the people who bought it in 1974. Inside was not so much changed, as finally finished. When I left in 1973, much of the house was unfinished. My parents finished it to sell it.
Here where I've lived since 1983 is far more changed, lots more houses, the woods behind us gone. I live in a valley with 7th best soil in the world for growing food and we are building on it like crazy. Drives me crazy...
